Winter Celebration kicks off tonight in Lebanon

Devon Blanchard, 21, of West Fairlee, right, and his friend Carter Shannon, of Canaan, left, wait for Lebanon Recreation, Arts and Parks Director Paul Coats, not pictured, to secure a support for strings of holiday lights from a lift truck while setting up a display at Colburn Park in Lebanon, N.H., on Tuesday, Nov. 21, 2023. It is Blanchard's sixth year setting up a light display to honor his uncle Jason Timmons, who died tragically with his fiancée when their vehicle was struck on Interstate 89 by a pickup truck whose driver intentionally drove across the median in 2013. Blanchard's decorations will be part of the city's Downtown Winter Celebration this year and will be lit at 5:15 p.m. on Dec. 2. (Valley News - James M. Patterson) Copyright Valley News.
